[Buddha-l] Query about Francisco Varela

[Barnaby Thieme]

I'd also highly recommend his magnificent short essay "Ethical Know-How". 
I've read quite a bit of Vaela's work and found this to be accessable, 
to-the-point, and extremely illuminating, without sacrificing precision or 
complexity of outlook. It's a wonderful, wonderful book.

regards,
Barnaby Thieme
